The progress made in hybrid PET imaging during the past decades has significantly expanded the role of this modality in both clinical and research applications. Semi-quantitative PET/CT has been the workhorse of clinical PET/CT due to its simplicity and availability. In addition to semi-quantitative PET/CT, volumetric PET and global metabolic activity have recently shown promise in a more accurate assessment of various diseases. PET/CT has been widely used in pediatric oncologic and non-oncologic diseases. Here we have highlighted few of the pitfalls in the quantitative PET/CT and their potential remedies which have potential in PET/CT evaluation of pediatric diseases.
在过去几十年中,混合 PET 成像技术取得了显著进展,使其在临床和研究应用中的作用得到了极大扩展。半定量 PET/CT 因其简单易用而成为临床 PET/CT 的主力。除了半定量 PET/CT 外,容积 PET 和整体代谢活性最近在更准确评估各种疾病方面显示出了潜力。PET/CT 已广泛应用于儿科肿瘤和非肿瘤疾病。在这里,我们强调了定量 PET/CT 中的一些陷阱及其潜在的补救措施,这些措施在儿科疾病的 PET/CT 评估中具有潜力。
